Railroad Men In Council,

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Thc adjustment
of such local and through rates as was
reached by the general freight agents
of the western traffic association lines
was to-day settled by the managers Of
the roads, who met for This purpose
this afternoon. The remainder of the
time was given over to the problem of
how best to harmonize the interests of
the several different lines in different
locations so that Kansas City
st. Paul and Council Bluffrates should
not clash. There being considerable
difference of opinion on this point, its
settlement was left for general con-
ference to be held when separate or
shall be arranged. Further
discussion Of the subject will be
had tomorrow. The general
of the trans-continental'

DENVER, Feb. 22.-Reports received
at the office of the Colorado Cattle
Growers Association, indicate that
south of Montana to the Gulf of Mex
leo, cattle have wintered better than
for years. Reports from western Can
ada show that cattle have not suffered
more than usual. A prominent Mon
tana cattle man to-day said: at is
expected that losses will occur in some
portions of the territory where the
grass is short, but the losses as report
ed by some eastern papers are greatly
exaggerated. All danger to range cat.

English Politics.

LONDON, Feb, 2l.-The temper of
the conservative conference to-day was
distinctly in favor of Irish repression,
and this was only appessed by Lord
Salisbury's promise, that as soon as
new procedure rules were adopted CO.
ercion would follow. The leading ar
gument of others was that the adop-
ton of procedure rules was the first
step toward putting stop to Irish OBJ
struction tactics in parliament and
strengthening the action Of the execu.
tive in Ireland. Chaplain and others
who are opposed to the cloture pro-
posal threatened to revolt, but we're
cowed by Lord Salisbury's declaration
that the ministry would resign unless
the conservative party continued solid.
The vote of the conference resulted in
the absolute subordination to leaders.

to be taken to meet its requirements.
The session opened by thc reading OF
paper prepared by N. Green Curtis,
general solicitor OF the Southern Pa-
citic railroad company. The tenor OF
his article was that the law was sus-
ceptible of liberal Interpretation and il
so taken would not seriously interfere
with the operation of the Pacific roads.
After the reading of the paper the
meeting agreed that nothing could be
done toward rejusting tariffs, as
under strict construction Of the law
either through or local business would
have to be sacrificed. II was decided
that committee be appointed to go
before the commission, as soon as its
members are named, and ask them to
make such exceptions as will allow
roads TO carry both classes Of traffic
without loss and without division to
water or foreign routes. The meeting
will continue in session two or three
days.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The general
manager of the southwestern railroad
association lines to-day begun consid.
Grafton of the report of their general
freight agents regarding tariff and in
depreciation OF the interstate COM

some Of them being of the opinion
that in the arrangement of tariffs the
lines were proceeding too fast, while

ed and official expression could be had,
and others that before taking any de-
cisive action IL would be better to let
the freight agents of the western and
northwestern associations prepare their
report. PostpOnement ideas prevailed
and an adjournment was taken until
Friday next.
A general conference of the general
passenger agents of the western and
northwestern and southwestern associ-
ations was held to-day, the southwest
ern officials having reached certain
conclusions last week. Representatives
OF each association, +. P.Wilson, G. H.

managers as embodying the views and
conclusions of general passenger agents
of the west. These conclusions would

with pain" is the sad cry of many a victim
of rheumatism or neuralgia, and frequently
other diseases, such as kidney and liver
complaints, are directly traceable to rheu-
matism or neuralgia. These diseases, for
some unexplainable reason, are rapidly in
creasing, and in many instances are the
direct cause of muoh sickness which SO
hides its real origin as to be mistaken for
other diseases. In curing rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sick headache, and in many cases of
kidney and liver troubles, Athlophoros has
wrought wonders. Those who have used

how TO Make Money

Many people who have accumulated

tell them how to invest it SO that it would
Yield a sure increase without danger of
loss 1t is the danger in fac: almost
The certainty of partial if not total loss of
capital that deters people from placing
their Accommodations in nearly every line
of those enterprises known as specula~
tive. TO speculate" is to many only
another name for to gamble There
is, however, one means Of making even a
small capital accumulate and bear fruit,
with no chance of loss. Real estate is a
commodity which has always an intrinsic
value; power of producing something
which gives it price. an impossibility
of destruction by any misfortune or acct
dent which gives it stability. There
are two ways in which a person
can invest in real estate a small
or large sum: The first by
loauing 10 others a portion of its
value, giving to them the power of pos
sessing what otherwise they could not,
and taking in return portion of the
product Of such property in the form of
interest. To those who are satisfied
with a reasonable income from this in
| yestment, this offers the best and safest
way to solve the problem. The other
way is by buying lands with the expecta>
lion of an increase in the value. This
will be affected more or less by circum>
stances, but the certainty of gaining
something, and the possibility of an in
crease far beyond any obtsinable rate of
interest. would tempt anyone who would
season his investment with the flavor of
speculation. Would you learn more of
